For Me it is not about credibility collection, but continuity connection.
I’m not certain about the Paleo-Pagan New Year being the Seasonal Holiday for venerating the Dead,
As a Neo-Pagan Druid I’ve learned to Honor the Dead along with Spirits and Gods and Goddesses every Holiday, every Day and Night, every time I Pray Aloud or to Myself.
My reverence and appreciation has grown far beyond concepts of Ancestors,
or “ My People”.
I have taken to stretching beyond the familiar or the favorites and seeing that,
all that are born are in possession of a Humanity.
All that have Died have shared in the Mortal Human condition, the struggle of life.
It is not the God like Qualities or the Heroic abilities that are acknowledged and emphasized but Our flaws and imperfections that characterize what We naturally are.
My reverence is not an idealization, but an acceptance of what is, of what was.

This is not based upon ancient Pagan Beliefs or practices , but My experience in My lifetime, this is a new opportunity that was not freely available or promoted generations ago.
Peoples lives are shaped by the conditions of their times.
Many of these conditions are artificially imposed, fashionable attitudes about what people are supposed to be, based around where they are from, what they look and sound like, concepts of Race, Culture,Class,Gender excuses for treating people as other, as less.
Ancient traditions that I hope to see Die in My Neo-Pagan now.
Social Justice may be a dream of the Dead, for their descendants.
Somehow this speaks to Me from the other side, part of the spiritual sense, the spiritual séance of the season, past and future, beginning from end.

Transference and transmutation , Flexibility is Key!
People miss the path or portal when they believe that,
Ritual, Group or Religion is about being recognized for the part that they play in it.
It is not about personal prominence, performance,progress,in the,
Ritual, Group or Religion .
It is not about pledging ,proving and providing, or the power you hold,
In Ritual, Group or Religion
Position, stance, composition, arrangement, interrelationship induction .
Presentation, possibility,potentiated, The Gates are opened!
It is Wrong to promote the popular belief that The Gods are how we imagine them.
Things are not a product of our creative imagination, Fantasy ability,Dream visualization.
Things are what they are. regardless of our awareness or beliefs.

Things are not part of a Magic reality we wish for,
All things part of process, Everything Feed Back
Perceptions of permanence pass, personhood panorama, regenerative capacitors , complex entanglement , extra dimensional Life forces,emergent interior organization.
Etiquettes of Spiritual banquets,Manners of spatial feasts, habits of holiday gathering..
People who think the point is personal advancement distort the primary purpose with persuasion,product,propaganda.
Collections, councils, committees create concentric cages, containing, claiming compartmentalizing for a consumer / corporate culture where ,
The customer / share holder is always right . an imaginary perfect place
Binding contracts, agreements,understandings,deals, transactions,rituals make the world go around.
Our connection, our communion is with interrelationships
To Witness and Wonder at the exchanges, companionship that surround us.
The changing and growing forms and shapes, Our place within that process.
Our personal attention space, our ability to direct our caring.
Trading and giving, free to chose, able to see the value and worth of things as they truly are.
An appreciation of the material world that is not formed around market,or speculative profit but a marvel of making, composition, arrangement, alignments and context.
Spirits and Actions, light and dark

After participating in a few rituals I was encouraged to form a” Druid Grove” by the groups founder.

The ritual of the group ,was to come together for an experience opportunity eight times a year.

The ritual was assembled by the founder and friends from bits and pieces of other groups rituals.

One of the most dramatic ways the ritual became “ours” is the way we were open to sharing the experience with people of all sorts.

Perhaps because the “ community”, Cosmos and ritual reflective of “ all sorts of different beings” encompasses a more welcoming and accepting consensual reality.

The founder was a student of Magic and the occult , the people, the groups.

Their functioning , the dangers real and imagined., popular metaphysics and Cult awareness

The most obvious Psychic safety tip, the difference between on and off, yes and no,

The traditional closed circle would be given a secondary egress , a clear and free exit.

It is more important to maintain the ability to reject something , than to be offered the opportunity to accept it,

When you lose the ability of expression of differing opinions, viewpoints you become fixed in the fabric of a manufactured perception, tailored reality.

The new Magic circle would not be a protective container externalized spatially,

but a connector to other dimensions assembled internally using our , Special Attention, Loving Interest Caring Awareness this is what we as a group gather around,

This is our Sacred Center.

We have free movement to come and go in any direction, in our own fashion, but we wont trample on comfort, knowledge and blessing, It’s place, It’s space, It’s time and prominence in our ritual activities.
